    Introduction: Hello readers !
    My name is [REDACTED], but I’m known as Achrow within the community and I am from the UK.
    I have played Meepcraft for many years now and I have come to the decision that it is time for me to contribute and help the server, which is why I have written this application. I also believe this experience would allow me to develop my building skills further.
    The things I enjoy the most about Meep are playing everyday, building diverse projects, talking with friends and newcomers and mining on my own. But minecraft is not my only hobby: I also have a passion for art, philosophy and psychology. Though art is not a way of expressing my emotions through something material, but is more of a way to escape, and get lost in either a drawing, or in the case of Minecraft, a build. It is a way for me to improve my passion for drawing, by creating something realistic, aesthetically pleasing and impressive with my pencil, or something new and ambitious as a build.
    I have a great love for psychology since i always wanted to know what people were like, and what they were thinking. And in the future i hope to use this skill and hobby to help people. It is also a way for me to relate to people who, like me and many other people have experienced some difficulties in life.
    My interest in philosophy started as a young child, I took an interest in existential questions, which couldn’t be answered by science, but were answered by different beliefs in philosophy.
    I have had the privilege to travel the world and experience other cultures and different lifestyles which have bettered me as a person and expanded my culture. Travelling has allowed me to gather a lot of architectural knowledge which I try to introduce in my Meepcraft builds.
    Another passion of mine is my love for animals, which began when, while on a trip in Greece, I was shocked to witness about two hundred unsheltered stray cats, and naturally tried to feed and help them. This event has pushed me to get a four-legged friend of my own, and though I love him, he is a lot of responsibility - as many of you may know. I’m pretty sure we’re in a love - hate relationship.


    Why should you be Architect? I should be Architect for the server because i have been around for years and i have grasped onto the rules and what Architects do. I am great at apprehending each characteristic of a type of build and the theme. I am now very familiar with Voxel/worldedit which could benefit the server and its future builds hugely instead of having someone with less experience. I am a very visually creative person and have a buzzing and unique building quality of a nordic style. I can Adapt to each theme of building. I love building in Minecraft it is a way to project my thoughts or to project my ideas into something which is 3 dimensional virtually. And I think a great quality an Architect should have is passion which I have a-lot of. The main thing about art is peoples views and I would feel like a true artist if you let a player view my creation of a map or a terrain.

    I try my best with every build even if this means taking hours on end I try to make sure it looks great.
    I love building and I think with the knowledge, creativity and passion I could make a very good Architect.
    I have burning Ideas which i would love to put to action with my building and I am always learning new ways to build. In terms of knowledge I know about how to contrast blocks to make different but good builds. I know how to blend colours and have a fairly good artistic view on what colours match and what colours don’t. All my builds will be very detailed and each build will be brought to life.

    I have very good listening skills, i constantly ask for feedback and criticism so i know how to improve. I can do interior and exterior to large buildings which brings in major detail. I use composition and placement of blocks to make a beautiful building and I believe I can make friends easily which is another huge reason I could be an asset to the team Since after all teamwork is one of the key and most important things a builder should have.


    What builds have you completed on the server and where might they be located? I have builds spread throughout the server and some of my modern building work was in a town called Meepcity (Nuker’s town) but when it fell most of it was blown to pieces or ruined. Most of my builds are located in Falkreath town and on my creative plot. I have also done buildings on my singleplayer worlds. I wish i took more pictures of my builds before the reset. The buildings I am most proud of are in my small medieval village, Otherwise in my creative plot too.

    Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: The mountain I built was made by Voxel and was originally meant to be a CTF map but I couldn't access the private server i used to build anymore.

    Thank you for taking the time to review my application!


    How much experience do you have using Voxel and Worldedit? I know how to use Voxel very well by a previous friends which helped me but also I learned by using it casually. I know how to work World edit but i still think there is room for improvement! I have a very good eye for symmetry and how landscape on Minecraft should look on the whole which gives me an advantage on how to use both of these tools. I have good understanding of the tools and I am very creative when it comes to making something with them! I can also make landscapes from scratch as well as using Voxel/worldedit.

    There are better ways to approaching it really. Thats what I believe Muunkee is basing it off. If you look at other applications, such as Lolli's or I believe Vex's, they both approach a post rather joyfully and ask for ways to improve themselves.

    Now, onto the app.
    I'm neutral on it. I lean more towards the -1 side however. Reason being was that, during the time I was staff, as well as when ellie was staff, you were a real pain. Of course, you have Ellie on your references so I feel as if both of you had made up, but who says you aren't the same as before. Yes, this isn't a helper app, but from what most of us know of you, you get so defensive at times, as muunkee said, and hope people take your side, and staff shouldn't act that way. When they don't, as in Ellie's case when she handled a modreq about you, you acted horrible with her, which led to a different staff member to handle it. This was a while ago. Who says you won't be the same as a arch? I'm surprised archs are able to kick and ban, which would be a benefit in your part.

    With the builds, they're just medieval. Of course, theres the modern(which isn't complete), the mushroom paradise, and the mountain with the use of voxel which are nice, but other than that, its nordic or medieval. Those are just normal builds most towns have. What those houses reminded me of is Kling's medieval town. Just gives the same vibe as it. I just don't see spark from your builds at all. Yeah, its complex and nice, but its just simple.

    Now, one point off of hand is that I've heard once that you were staff on another server. Of course, I don't know whether its true or not, but it seems it could be possible seeing how, before I was banned, you weren't as active as you were before. That could mean that you could have been working on these builds, but that doesn't rule out the possibility of you being staff on a different server.

    I still lean towards -1, but I'll remain neutral. Due to being banned, I won't be able to see how you act online, but I always have my eyes still there, so no worries. Its just your personality and builds that don't make me see you as staff anytime sooner. Who says someone can't hide in sheep clothing and not be a wolf? Look at me, hehe. We'll see if vote changes over time.

    You are a wonderful Towny builder but there is a large skill difference between the two, what ever happened to the large scaled creations in applications that show off someone's skill and creativity. Seeing medieval buildings in most applications is tiring me because most buildings looks beaut with blocks thrown here and there.

    What I look for in an architect is someone who shows they can make wonderful spawns, interesting maps and for example the Christmas build built predominantly by Chopper or the space station Andrew has made. Show us your worth of creativeness on a large scale similar to the unique and quicky mushroom world instead of Towny buildings.

    Hey Achrow. I agree that maybe you should make some larger builds but that will come in time. I am going to give you a +1 as your builds have detail and you can terraform the land which is always a good skill to have. You're a pleasure to talk to which makes me believe that you will be perfectly fine with representing the team in a positive way. Good luck and I hope to see you on the team soon!

    Hey Achrow! I love your builds and building style in a all! I would be interested to see you in a trial run as an arch. Your builds look all really good, I would be interested to also see how you would put together a bigger map or such with your builds. You are a lovely person to talk to too, so I would give you a +1, hope to see you on the arch team soon!

    I'd be willing to give you a trial to see how you go. I can see some things maturity-wise that can improve, and will do so in the near future.

    A question, though: If staff supposedly gave you the start of an Infected map to work on, and you alone had to work on it for the release at the start of April, how would you handle the workload, and in all honestly how would you respond if someone asked if you were working on bringing Infected back, when staff had specifically told you that Infected was not to be public information? I will be more happy with an honest answer here than one to persuade my thoughts.

    Hello Achrow, I think you meet all the qualifications for becoming Arch. You are a very good builder and I think you're the best applicant so far for arch. I love your build style and your builds are amazing. Keep up the good work, +1
